  • 1.  Canadian Evidence: "RELENTLESS HR CRISIS" Due to "STAFF BURNOUT AND STRESS"

    Posted 11-09-2022 04:23 PM
    Dear colleagues: [indulgence coveted for cross-posting]

    The 2,700 nonprofit museums in Canada are among the organisations reporting the serious impacts of recent working conditions ranging from "STAFF BURNOUT AND STRESS" through growing retention & recruitment problems to dissolution due to volunteer burnout.  

    In Canada's largest province by population & area [= Texas + Montana] the Ontario Nonprofit Network & Assemblée de la francophonie de l'Ontario {hereinafter ONN & l'AFO} have completed a study of the nonprofit sector that, inter alia, focussed on staffing & volunteers. 

     

    See the 8 November 2022 post "'Coordinated Sector Response' Necessary to Address Museum 'Staff Burnout & Stress'" on the Solving Task Saturation for Museum Workers blog located at https://solvetasksaturation.wordpress.com/2022/11/08/coordinated-sector-response-necessary-to-address-museum-staff-burnout-stress/ that links to the full report above.

      

    Readers are also invited to 'fill your boots' with solutions to the rampant burnout problem provided in the above blog post as well as the 3 recent long format & fully-documented essays found in my blog's annotated Index with the term "burnout" in their titles that I believe are particularly worthy of your attention. There is a 'tag' for "managing burnout", 37 post hits resulting from entering that term in the search field, & also 55 hits for a Boolean search for "solve AND solution".  

    Thanks for thinking about the significant new evidence from the ONN & l'AFO report pointing to the urgent need for "a coordinated sector response and long-term public policy solutions" to the current "RELENTLESS HR CRISIS" in museums & related nonprofits. 

    Respectfully yours

    This link has been shared with me from other groups, but I can't open it as it keeps being identified as malicious.  Anyone else having issues?

    I didn't have any problem with the link in Chrome or Firefox. If you can't resolve it, it's short, it could be uploaded here.

    Dear Evelyn & other colleagues:

    I am terribly sorry for this difficulty.  I have never had like problems previously with my links to posts.

    I would suggest a simple Google search for "solving task saturation for museum workers" & in my browser, it is the first hit.  The 8 Nov. blog post will appear on the landing page until I post my next essay, but no plans for that any time soon.
     
    I trust you can access it this way.

    Good luck with communications technology.

    Respectfully yours

    Paul
